Self-Sustainable
At Barkhan, we fully make use of the Namibian Sun to generate our Power. With a state of the art power plant, we have made sure to generate enough power for our everyday use and to ensure you have power at your fingertips during your stay.
Our water is supplied from our own boreholes and are of the purest drinking quality.
With our recycling plant, we are able to re-use the water from the showers to water our gardens, thus ensuring that we do not deplete our ground water as rain is scarce in the desert.
Our everyday waste is recycled. All paper and plastic waste is burned and glass and tins are packed and transported back to Windhoek to the city’s recycling plant. Food waste is composted and re-used in our gardens.
We are really doing our part for GREEN and SELF-SUSTAINABILITY, YOU MUST INSPECT.
